Are Multiple Offers and Selling In The First Week Possible in this market??

 

They are!  The 3 most important strategies to sell any property are: the right price, the right agent, and the right stager

We now know that nearly 90% of buyers preview homes on the Internet before ever visiting them.  Time is one of the most valued commodities today.  To swing the door of a listing, it has to look good in the marketing photos - the VERY best way to make that happen is by using the right stager.

This home sold within the first few days of being on the market - with multiple offers, above the asking price.

 

With eight and a half months of inventory on the market, how are you going to make sure that your property is the one that sells - in the first week with multiple offers above the asking price? 

 

You got it, the right price, the right

agent, and

the right stager.

9. Staged homes sell faster than non-staged.
8. Staging costs a fraction of a price reduction.
7. Staging distinguishes you from the competition.
6. Dated furnishings make the home seem dated.
5. Staging improves online marketing efforts.
4. Staged homes more often appraise for full value.
3. Staging helps buyers see themselves living there.

2. A first impression is a lasting impression.
1. In today's market, you can't afford NOT to stage!

You are right on!!! The RIGHT combination must happen. At the same time, the RIGHT BUYER must come through also.

 

Many times, buyers are NOT ready to put in an offer on the first weekend because they feel they have not seen enough. Then 3 weeks and 30 houses later, the first house may very well be gone. It does happen.

It is happening. I did a consult on a split level home on a fenced corner lot. They chose to follow my advice by decluttering and changing the covered deck from a dog house to a beautiful spa with hot tub. The colours were still outdated with  hunter green and peach with wallpaper borders---- but it sold in 5 days at $5100 above the asking price with multiple offers! Realtor,  Alistair Young had it priced competitively  for the market. Four homes were for sale on the same street--- 3 are still for sale two months later.

Even minimum staging works!

Cheers, Marilynn

We're finding that professionally staged homes are selling very quickly too!  The combination of a great Realtor who recognizes the importance of excellent marketing and pricing the property correctly from the start + a great Stager = a SOLD sign out front.

Home Staging is taking the world by storm.  It makes sense and I can't believe it took so long to become a necessary marketing strategy to sell a home. I love the photos.  It shows that LESS is BEST.
